Proceedings, AFCRL Scientific Balloon Symposium (6th)

Abstract

The publication contains the papers presented at the Sixth AFCRL scientific Balloon Symposium held to promote the exchange of current information among balloon designers, developers, and flight managers and researchers engaged in scientific balloon programs. Subjects include: balloon-borne experiments in high-energy astrophysics, detection of atmospheric tides near 48 km, sun- oriented atmospheric optics, a proposed balloon mission in the Venus atmosphere, a panel on balloon materials and testing, telemetry and balloon-control instrumentation, advanced balloon technology, high altitude station-keeping balloons, the AFCRL tethered-balloon facility, advances in meteorological balloons, and superpressure balloons in the tropical stratosphere.
